have you been robbed?

i just went through a street in central london when 2 black
kids in their teens stopped me and asked me to give them my
ipod, otherwise they might pull me in the bush and do
something to me.
i was like "relax, why dont you rob somebody who deserves
it, a racist, for example". then police sirens were audible
and they said "peace!" and went away. damn violent bastards.


what are your experiences? what would they probably have
done to me?

i got robbed on the street when i was 14 or something.
there's a big problem in oslo with kids robbing other kids.
mostly non-norwegians robbing norwegians, unfortunately...

Yeah, I was in Oslo playing basketball with my little
brother and a friend when I was like 12 and some black kid
ripped my brothers Shaquile O'Neal jersey straight off him
and tried to make a run for it :p

yes, once. it was weird... i was on the tramway and that guy
started to engage a conversation with me. i thought he was
just wanting to talk with me (some people do that
sometimes)... then suddenly he asks me for a joint; i say i
don't have any, so he starts searching in my pocket, while
still smiling and being sympathetic and all - just like we
were friends. i'm like "hey, stop that, i said don't have
any!" or whatever, so he searches my other pocket, then
grabs my bag, and takes my wallet in my bag. while still
smiling and being sympathetic and like he was joking and
all.

when i think of it i feel really stupid for not having
reacted, i knew he was stealing from me... on the other hand
i don't know how he would have reacted if i had
reacted...

No. You'd have to be stupid to rob me, man. You'd have to
have a deathwish, man. Why throw your life away so
recklessly?

€ 40.

now i've stopped carrying that much money around in my
wallet... i usually take 20, sometimes 25, unless i want to
buy something more expensive.

yeah, just once

sitting with a friend smoking a cigarette on "the boardwalk"
(a metal walkway along the northside of the river liffey) in
a bit of a dodgy area, two junkies come up, ask us for some
hash, we say we have none as we stand up, they produce a
knife, take my friend's phone, tell us to give them all our
money or he doesn't get the phone back..

what was horrible was that i'd just taken out ALL of my
money from the bank, had about 300 quid in my back pocket...
luckily i got away, by just denying i had none.

and what was funny was that my friend is notoriously scabby
when it comes to money, and this case wasn't an exception -
he took out a tenner and about a fiver in change and
proceeded to haggle with the two junkies, and got them to
give him his phone back for the tenner.

mad.

I was once robbed from my bike while the lock was still on
it.
Next day i drove passed a gipsy camp and saw my bike
standing there. I sneaked up to it and put my key in the
lock to see if it was mine. It was, and i immediatly robbed
it back.

I've been in about 4 different situations. Only once have I
had stuff taken. I was approached by 4 guys who took my
mobile, my cd player along with all my compositions i was
writing at the time and a load of prog cds.

stressy stuff. the thing that annoys me is that it happened
in the street next to the street where i live. i might meet
this people again. once somebody with a cut throat lay there
at 1 o clock in the night. MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK FOR A NEW
ROOM.

Hmmm. Once someone tried to threaten to beat me up if I
didn't give them all my money. They were serious, but I just
started talking like a hippy and ended it off with me
raising my hands into the air and saying that it doesn't
matter if I gave them money, they would do what they wanted,
and they got freaked and took off. It was some pretty funny
shit.

successfully? no, not yet, but there is always the
possibility...right?

there is an issue in philadelphia where homelessness is
essentially ignored and forgotten - for instance i work
right near the liberty bell - one of the KEY figures of
american pride, arguably the most important (next to the
constitution) - and homeless people go through the trash in
front of the building daily - no one says shit, no one
cares, ignorance is bliss i guess

but i have a different approach to people who fuck with me -
when hoomless people, or anyone i dont know who is trying to
give me that, "i got stranded in the city, help a brother
out" shit - i tend to lose it - ive gone as far as to tell
one dude who kept calling me "my man" that i wasnt "not your
fucking man" - he got all worked up and i told him if he
would prefer to scrounge for change for non-solid food after
i removed his teeth, then he should keep it up

fucking thieves...get a job like the rest of us you fucks...

never been robbed, but had my bike stolen twice.

i heard you're supposed to ask the robber what time it is..
it psychs them out i guess. either that, or they'll shoot
you.

I've had someone put a knife to my back. I laughed and
emptyed my pockets showing that I had my wallet at home and
literally only had 10p on me. I was more amused than
scared.

Another time a similar (although no knife was involved)
thing happened, but all I had in my pocket was a tissue (out
skating so didn't have anything in my pockets I could fall
on).

no never! how scary that must be! i am always worried if
i'm walking around with my camera that it will be stolen. i
try to tell myself, what good is a camera if you don't use
it and forget about my fears though. because really, what
use is it? i can buy a new camera. also i don't carry cash
ever, basically because i don't have any money anyway.

when i was around 5 years old living in long island my home
was broken into in the middle of the night. i believe they
took a piece of jewerly or two of my mom's and i know for
sure they stuffed our drains with washclothes and turned the
water on. they also cut the hoses to our pool in the back.

they had something against water apparently.

i think the time is ready to tell them now.. it was you all
the time, wasn't it? eventhough, you have surpressed it
through all these years, but now it slowly flows back. just
let it out.
